Four things about Grace...  
 

Bouncing off an interesting post I read today in Mark's and Jenny Sun's blog...and even Louis! I decided to go along with the idea and post up answers to some of these questions below:

1. Four Jobs/Career aspirations I have had:

  • Be a doctor (I discovered after a while that blood and I don't go well together)
  • A National Geographic photographer
  • Be a successful businesswoman
  • A social worker helping to make this world a better place

2. Four things I wish I had done earlier:

  • Discovered the joys of photography at an earlier age
  • Organize my finances better
  • Spent more time with my brother when he was living in Asia for 4 years
  • Backpack around Australia while I was studying there for 3 years. And dive in the Great Barrier Reef!

3. Four places I have been:

  • Nepal
  • Myanmar
  • Mauritius
  • Prague

4. Four countries I would like to visit:

  • Egypt
  • South Africa 
  • South America (ok this is more like a continent... but I suppose anywhere around South America would be great!)
  • South island of New Zealand

5. Four of my favourite dishes/snacks:

  • My mom's sayur asin or kiam chai soup
  • Tom Yum
  • Nasi Lemak
  • Japanese Food

6. Four of favourite desserts:

  • Leng Chee Kang
  • Thai Red Ruby
  • Chocolate Ice Cream
  • Hot melted bananas topped with chocolates and roasted over a BBQ pit  

7. Four sites I visit daily:

  • Blogs of other friends
  • Google calendar
  • Facebook (now it's not really daily)
  • Can't think of any other sites

8. Four software applications I cannot live without:

  • Final Cut Pro
  • Adobe Lightroom
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Firefox 

9. Four favourite drinks:

  • Ribena
  • Teh tarik
  • Orange Juice
  • Iced pearl tea 

10. Four things you may not know about me: 

  • I am a closet control freak. I like to have things in control and going my way. Hahaha... and though I tell myself that I am not a perfectionist, I can get a bit nitpicky when it comes to certain things. Like work. :) 
  • When I left my hometown Malacca in 1997, I knew I would never go back there to live again. Well I should never say, 'never' right? But I guess I am quite sure now that my time there has come to a close.
  • But when I was living in Malacca, I used to cycle to school and throw stones at mudskippers after tuition. It was one of my favourite past-times. :)
  • Initially when I ventured into photography, I was really nervous about it. I didn't feel as if I had the skills and the confidence to do it. I kept a low profile for many years until I slowly began to realize that I needed to get out of this shell (my thoughts!). Over time, I built my confidence, but I still do get nervous before a shoot, because I really want to do the best for all my clients.
